The approvals were granted at the Commission’s plenary meeting in Abuja, presided over by its Chairman, DIG Hashimu Salihu Argungu (Rtd).
Among the beneficiaries are AIG Olaolu Adegbite, Head of INTERPOL National Central Bureau, Abuja, and AIG Dankombo Morris, Head of Zone 4 Headquarters, Makurdi, both elevated to the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Police.
